Bono said he was serious in the way to deal with Extremism is to laugh at them and Europe should let refugees in. People living under isis control would be beheaded if they started laughing at them. We have already seen the effects of letting Syrian refugees into Europe.
Refugees fleeing for their lives and to protect their families are not the enemy here, as Bono made abundantly clear during the tour last year. The more the West perpetuates that kind of black-and-white narrative, the more ISIS wins. They can't believe that Muslims actually want to flee to the West instead of live under their self-proclaimed caliphate in Syria and Iraq!
Of course, I say this as an American, not a European. But God help us if Donald Trump (or Ted Cruz) gets elected to be our next president - carpet-bombing terrorists and their families and deporting all Muslims are not exactly the policies to undercut the ideology that ISIS feeds off of to recruit new members.
Let's hope that means the end of the Easter break and the comeback to studio work.
